The award was launched to recognise a young person of outstanding achievement
The Victor Watson Trophy is open for nominations, to any young person (under the age of 31 at the time of the presentation) employed in the printing industry.
Now in its third year, the award was launched in memory of Victor Watson CBE DL to recognise a young person of outstanding achievement. Nominees can come from all areas of the printing supply chain, from journalism through to all aspects of printing and allied trades such as: printing, publishing, manufacturing or operating presses, driving, cleaning, advertising, photography, graphic arts, making ink and recycling paper. The nominator and nominee do not have to be associated with any particular organisation.
The recipient of the trophy will be encouraged to apply for a Printing Charity bursary of £1500. The trophy will be presented on Wednesday, 4 July at a ceremony in London. It is supported by the BPIF, The Printing Charity and The Worshipful Company of Makers of Playing Cards.
Speaking about the award, Robert McClements, president of CDi, commented, ‘Which young person do you know who deserves your nomination? The Victor Watson Trophy is a fantastic way to celebrate their achievements – this recognition is so important and it’s in your hands.’
